Practical Design Meets Everyday Use
Trough planters combine practicality and style, fitting easily where round or bulky pots cannot, such as corridors, shared desks, and reception areas. Their linear shape allows multiple plants to sit together in neat, uniform rows, while in open offices, they double as natural dividers that define zones without closing off space. This balance of form and function makes them one of the most versatile planter options for modern interiors.
Selecting the Right Trough Planter
When deciding on trough planters, consider:
- Space available – Slim designs fit along walls, under windows, or in open-plan layouts
- Plant mix – Troughs can hold multiple plants, making them ideal for consistent arrangements
- Design style – Choose from neutral tones such as black, white, and concrete, or request finishes to suit your interiors
- Practical use – Troughs work as space dividers, walkway guides, or accent features in lobbies

Trough Planters as Part of a Larger Design
Trough planters integrate easily with desk and floor planters, creating layers of greenery that connect spaces and bring consistency to interiors. Their linear shape helps link circulation paths, soften sharp corners, and provide structure in open layouts.
We collaborate with designers and facility managers to recommend trough planters that complement existing fitouts, ensuring workplaces are both functional and visually cohesive.
